Many people are destined to have trouble sleeping this night.

Yan Donghuang stepped out of the dungeon, looked at the fire in the mansion, and said in an indifferent voice: "Chang Lan, take Miss Shen to wash up first, change clothes, and order the kitchen to boil a bowl of ginger soup for her, and prepare some hot water for her. Food."

Chang Lan accepted the order: "Yes."

Yan Donghuang returned to Qingluan Hall, undressed and took off his belt, and took a comfortable hot bath to relieve the fatigue from a busy day.

After bathing and changing clothes, she walked to the window and sat down on the brocade couch, looking out the window without saying a word.

"A man's mouth is a liar." Feng Yaoguang poured her a cup of tea with a low and gentle voice, "Sheng Jing'an plotted to murder His Highness on their wedding night. He thought he was sincerely in love with Shen Yun, but he didn't expect to betray Shen Yun when he was in trouble. Jun also betrayed her without hesitation, which shows that he doesn’t love anyone at all and is just selfish and hypocritical in nature.”

Yan Donghuang held the tea cup and glanced at him: "Aren't you also a man?"

"So Your Highness should not trust me too much, or even completely trust the other six generals." Feng Yaoguang replied calmly, "Even if you trust me, you should still be a little defensive."

Yan Donghuang raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that you have a good understanding of men."

"Human nature is selfish, regardless of gender." Feng Yaoguang sat down opposite her, lazily holding his chin, looking at her with tender eyes, "It's just that men are more profit-seeking, while women have no autonomy. , obey their father at home, obey their husbands when married, the three obediences and the four virtues discipline their words and deeds, so that they have no chance to show their selfish nature. "

Women's responsibilities are in the inner house. If they want to gain a virtuous and good reputation, they must strictly abide by the three obediences and four virtues, be a gentle and virtuous wife, be filial to their parents-in-law, and support their husbands and children.

Even if there are some who are selfish and vicious, they are bound by the "Seven Outs", so most women don't dare to go too far.

The four words "man is heaven" give men an excuse to be selfish. Even being romantic and lustful can be interpreted in a high-sounding way as spreading branches and leaves for the sake of the prosperity of his descendants.

Feng Yaoguang has been used to seeing too many unfair and even disgusting things since he was a child. His mother is the biggest victim of these dogmas.

It's just that the time rules are set by those in power. They have vested interests and don't think about whether the dogma is reasonable or how serious the deprivation and oppression of women are.

They will only resolutely maintain these dogma and rules that are beneficial to themselves, and tightly bind women within the dogma.

"Thousands of years of rules and systems have been passed down, and cognitive concepts have been deeply ingrained." Yan Donghuang sipped his tea, "One or two people cannot change this system at all."

"But someone must do it." Feng Yaoguang said, "Your Highness might as well be the first person to overturn the system."

Yan Donghuang looked at him calmly, with a strange light surging in his eyes.

"Princess." A weak voice sounded.

Feng Yaoguang stood up from the couch and looked at Shen Yun wearing a long blue dress. Her messy hair was combed neatly, and the torn clothes on her body were changed. She was also wrapped in a simple and half-worn jacket. cloak.

After washing, the blood on Shen Yun's face has been washed away, but the whip marks on the left cheek and chin are still there. It is not sure whether there will be scars in the future.

"Chang Yue." Yan Donghuang ordered, "Send someone to the city to find a female doctor."

"yes."

Yan Donghuang raised his hand to indicate that a maid brought a group stool and placed it behind Shen Yun.

Shen Yun stood with his eyes lowered, his face pale: "Eldest Princess, I'm so kind to you, it's okay for a bitch to just stand and talk."

Yan Donghuang said calmly: "Then we can say it now."

Shen Yun was silent for a moment, then picked out a few key points: "It was the emperor's intention to poison the eldest princess's wine, and the recipe for the poison and antidote was given by Concubine De. Sheng Jing'an knew about this and acquiesced, and the Sheng family Others don’t know.”

Feng Yaoguang narrowed his eyes, and doubts appeared on his handsome face: "Qi Ri Du Chang Powder is a common poison. Isn't there a ready-made antidote? Do we need a separate prescription?"

"The bitch doesn't know." Shen Yun shook his head with a pale face, "The bitch doesn't know medical skills. I can only do what the Concubine De said."

Yan Donghuang hummed: "Continue."

"Three months ago, Concubine De summoned the bitch to the palace, saying that she wanted to catch up with the bitch." Shen Yun lowered his head and said, with a weak and pale face, with a bit of inferiority developed over the years, "The bitch is the concubine of the Shen family. "It is an honor to be summoned by my sister-in-law, so I dressed up carefully and followed the messenger into the palace."

"After entering the palace, the medical lady next to Concubine De gave me a bottle of poison and truthfully told me the effects of the poison. After hearing this, the bitch was so frightened that her face turned pale and she almost collapsed on her knees."

Feng Yaoguang kept staring at her face. When she finished saying this, he noticed the change in her mood, and he could indeed see the fear at that time.

Shen Yun took a gentle breath to calm down her trembling emotions, and then continued: "The Concubine De retreated from all the palace people in the palace and told me that this was the emperor's intention. She said that the eldest princess had great military exploits and held great power. The emperor cannot tolerate it."

Shen Yun felt chills all over after hearing this, and she only regretted that she had not found an excuse to decline the opportunity to enter the palace.

She asked her eldest sister tremblingly: "I... I am just a concubine of the Shen family. I have no chance to get close to the eldest princess. How should I poison her?"

The eldest sister smiled confidently: "In three months, the eldest princess and Sheng Jing'an will get married. Before that, I will arrange for you to live in the Sheng family first, so that you can develop a good relationship with Sheng Jing'an. When the wedding day comes, this will be given to you. In Princess Poison’s wine.”

"After the event is completed, the emperor will grant you a marriage to Sheng Jing'an. By then, Yan Donghuang has been poisoned and will be unable to do anything to you. You have the antidote in your hand, and you can completely control her. Do you want to Just think about it, don’t you think it’s wonderful to have a powerful eldest princess controlled by a little concubine like you?”

Shen Yun was frightened when he heard this.

Not to mention whether this plan is risky or not, just living in the Sheng family without a name or status will have a fatal impact on her reputation. She is afraid that she will eventually become the one who is sacrificed.

But since Concubine De told her this, she could no longer tolerate her refusal.

"You have only two choices. One is to take the antidote and poison and act according to the plan. From then on, you will become the wife of the prince and your aunt will live the life she wants because of you; the other is to marry a trafficker and a pawn. , From now on, there is no chance of wealth and honor, and you may not even be able to save your life. You can make your own choice."

Shen Yun knelt on the ground for a long time before recovering from the chaos.

Like a seductive big sister, Concubine De persuaded her gently and patiently: "Seven days of heart-breaking powder will not kill anyone. It will only make Yan Donghuang's martial arts gradually dissipate, making it impossible for her to go to the battlefield in the future. I will give you back Now that I know your antidote, as long as you mix the seven kinds of medicinal powders together in proportion to make the antidote, you can make Yan Donghuang obediently controlled by you. Think about it, isn’t this feeling very tempting? "

Tempting?

Shen Yun looked at Concubine De's smiling face, and at the red hair ornaments on her head that showed her status as an imperial concubine. They were dazzling with gold and wealth.

Shen Yun seemed to be suddenly bewitched and nodded slowly: "I listen to your Majesty."
